Bills signed LB Jamaal Westerman.

Westerman appeared in nine games between the Cardinals and Colts last season, playing mostly special teams. Westerman played for Bills DC Mike Pettine with the Jets, making three starts and notching 3.5 sacks in 2011. He'll fight for a reserve role in Buffalo. Wed, Aug 14, 2013 04:21:00 PM

With Terrance West (calf) and Glenn Winston (fitness) also out a few days, the only healthy backs at Browns camp are Isaiah Crowell and Shaun Draughn. The Browns may sign a free agent runner this week. As hamstring injuries are highly susceptible to aggravation, we'd expect the Browns to slow play Johnson's recovery. Missed practices are a concern for Johnson's 2015 playing time.

It was a tough practice for Cleveland as they lost DL Billy Winn to what looked like a bad knee injury and fellow RB Duke Johnson to a tweaked hamstring. West said he was not worried about the injury, but he may miss a few days. West is competing with Isaiah Crowell for early-down work in the Browns' backfield.
